Small, low-power, low-cost, networked, and potentially attritable sensors (“microsensors”) can be rapidly dispersed over an area to enhance situational awareness and continuously monitor for threats such as toxic chemicals or pathogens. The ability to use networks of smaller and cheaper sensors instead of large and expensive systems will allow Warfighters to maintain increasingly expeditionary postures.

U.S. troops are deployed worldwide to places where commercial food sanitation standards may be inferior with poor enforcement. Survey data of military personnel deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan reported high rates of diarrhea, 70 and 54% respectively, for respondents. Higher rates in deployed personnel in Iraq was attributed to more access to local foods (26.6% in Iraq reported eating local food weekly compared to only 5.3% in Afghanistan).
